Have you tried matcha? Matcha is a type of super-potent green tea that’s especially high in antioxidants and fat-soluble nootropic compounds.

Have you ever tried a low-calorie or sugar-free diet, only to be foiled by sugar cravings? See if this sounds familiar. You swear to stop eating all sugar (or chips, or fast food, or whatever). You stick to it for a few days, or maybe even a few weeks. But...

It’s also a culinary oddity – capsaicin is one of the few cooking ingredients that goes beyond the five tastes humans experience (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory).
